BASIC CHEESECAKE CRUST:

      Title: BASIC CHEESECAKE CRUST:
  Categories: Cheesecake, Kooknet, Cheesecakes
       Yield: 1 Crust
  
   1 1/2 c  Crushed graham crackers
            -(1 package)
     1/4 c  Sugar
       5 tb Melted butter
  
   Mix the graham crackers and sugar, then add butter and mix with a fork
   until completely moistened.  Press mixture into the bottom and up
   1/3rd of the side of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
   
   Variations:  Use ginger snaps instead of graham crackers for a spicier
   crust or for cakes like pumpkin. Use chocolate wafers instead of
   graham crackers for a chocolate, white chocolate, or certain
   fruit-flavored or ~topped cheesecakes like raspberry, cherry, or
   orange. For a sweeter, moister crust (do this only if the cheesecake
   is going to get eaten quickly, because it gets mushy faster) use
   brown sugar instead of white.
